Betty, Phillip, Dawn, Catlin and Preston. The service was wonderful. What a legacy Gary has left behind. I did not know a lot about Gary except how he loved his family. I needed the laughter of joy. He had such a love for life. He will be missed by all. Perry Neal and Bro Ron did a great job. I did not get to sign the book. A long, long line. He was well loved. Y'all are in my thoughts and prayers. Betty if you need anyone to talk to, I'll be there. Just call. Love all of you.

Gary was as good a friend and an example for all of how sports are meant to be a part of family activities as anyone I know of. Phillip & our son Michael played alongside each other for 5 years in high school and summer baseball and Gary was present at every game, always supporting the boys and sharing in their many successes. Gary will be missed - he was without question one of the 'good ones".
